Verdict

PRESENTANDCORRECT is the recommendation ahead of Magical Harry and On You Go. Although he has plenty of weight for what he has achieved. He is relatively consistent and represents a yard that are enjoying a good run this summer. Sam Twiston-Davies' claim is as ever, valuable. Magical Harry has gone up 11lb for his recent success at Newton Abbot. This is a stronger race but the handicapper had no real alternative but to levy on the hike. On You Go was campaigned as a summer jumper so his long absence should not be thought of as a negative. Hereweareagain has a tonguestrap on for the first time while Sula's Legend should not be completely written off despite a fair degree of inconsistency in the formbook profile. Presentandcorrect is our call in a strong race for the time of the year.
